Cavalier is an enemy found in Kingdom Rush: Vengeance, first encountered in Lightseeker Camp.
Overview[]
Paladins mounted on fast and strong horses, they can charge over their enemies and reach the backline with ease.
Cavaliers are horse-mounted Paladins that can charge past troops at double speed to avoid being blocked. The horse that one's towers will attack has rather low HP and lacks any protection, but will spawn a full-HP Paladin once slain, which can be a problem if they manage to get past most of the player's defenses.
In Lightseeker Camp, these will be spawned if a Paladin enters the Saddlery, and will take a shortcut to emerge past half the player's defences.
Strategy[]
- Positioning high damage towers near the entrance (or at the stables exit) will allow them to quickly take down the horse before it gets too far along the path. The player has to remember that they still have to deal with the Paladin afterwards, so some stronger towers should be placed further back as well.
- The Cavaliers do not have any resistance to damage of any kind, however, their dismounted Paladins are highly resistant to magic. Advanced Archers would handle these enemies with ease.
- Barracks can help stall the Cavaliers' charge, and block the dismounting Paladins. Paladins have an area attack, multiple of which can clear soldiers very quickly. The player should make use of reinforcements and/or Dark Knights to keep them stalled.
